UI Automation Activities
Click Toolbar Button
UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NSAPClickToolbarButton
Clicks a button from the system or application SAP toolbars. After indicating the SAP Toolbar on the screen, the list with all available buttons is displayed in the activity.
Designer panel
-
Click Indicate in App/Browser to indicate the UI element to use as target.
After you indicate the target, select the Menu button to access the following options:
- Indicate target on screen - Indicate the target again.
- Edit target - Open the selection mode to configure the target.
- Remove informative screenshot - Remove the screenshot of the target application or web page.
- Add to Object Repository - Add the current UI element to a library project, from where it can be reused throughout your automation process.
- Toolbar Button - Specifies the button from the system or application SAP toolbars. After indicating the SAP Toolbar on the screen, the list with all available buttons is displayed in the activity.
Properties panel
Common
-
Continue on error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports
Boolean
values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.Note: If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the ContinueOnError property is set to True, no error is caught when the project is executed. -
Delay after - Delay (in seconds) between the time this activity is completed and the time the next activity begins any operations. The default value is 0.3 seconds. Adding a delay between activities ensures that one activity has enough time to complete before the next activity begins.
-
Delay before - Delay (in seconds) between the time the previous activity is completed and the time this activity begins performing any operations. The default value is 0.2 seconds. Adding a delay between activities ensures that one activity has enough time to complete before the next activity begins.
- Display name - The display name of the activity.
-
Timeout - Specify the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the activity to be executed before throwing an error. The default value is 30 seconds.
Input
-
Target - The target element. Target element must be set. Before indicating on screen, this field is set to
(null)
. Once the target is indicated, all properties regarding the element that was indicated are displayed.- CV Control type - Indicates the type of control identified using Computer Vision.
- CV Text - Indicates the text identified using Computer Vision.
- Fuzzy selector - The parameters for the fuzzy selector.
- Native text - The text that is used to identify the UI element.
- Responsive websites - Enable responsive websites layout.
- Strict selector - The strict selector generated for the UI element.
- Targeting methods -
The selector types that you want to use for identifying the element. This
property can be set to any combination from the drop-down menu:
- None
- Strict selector
- Fuzzy selector
- Image
- Native text
- Computer
Vision - To use Computer Vision as a targeting method, you
need to go to Project Settings > Computer Vision
and make sure to set the correct server endpoint. You can leave this
field as it is and use UiPath Cloud, which is filled-in by default,
or you can enter another value either by selecting any of the other
public endpoints specific to a server
region or your own on-premises server.
Another way of using Computer Vision as a targeting method is to set Use Local Server to True. This implies that the UiPath.ComputerVision.LocalServer package is installed in your project. When Local Server is enabled, the server value is over-written. However, the Local Server is not available in cross-platform projects.
- Visibility check -
Checks whether the UI element is visible or not. You can choose one of three
options from the drop-down menu:
- None - Does not check for visibility.
- Interactive (for Fuzzy Selector) - Default option. Checks if the element is potentially visible, ignoring page scroll and obstructions by other apps, or the fact that the application is minimized. This check is useful when trying to ensure that you are not targeting invisible elements that exist in the DOM but are hidden.
- Fully visible - Checks if the UI element is visible or not.
- Wait for page load -
Before performing the action, wait for the application to become ready to
accept input. You can choose one of three options from the drop-down menu:
- None - Does not wait for the target to be ready.
- Interactive - Waits until only a part of the app is loaded.
- Complete - Waits for the entire app to be loaded.
- Window selector (Application instance) - The selector that is used for the application window. Only applicable when the window attach mode is set to Application instance.
- Toolbar Button - Specifies the button from the system or application SAP toolbars. After indicating the SAP Toolbar on the screen, the list with all available buttons is displayed in the activity.
Input/Output Element
- Input element - The UI element
on which the activity is executed, stored in an
UIElement
object. This field supports onlyUIElement
objects. This object can be obtained from the Output Element property field of other UI Automation activities. - Output element - Outputs a
target UI Element and stores it in a
UIElement
object, which can be further used to target the same element with other activities.
Misc
- Private - If selected, the
values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level. This field
supports only
Boolean
(True, False) values. The default value is False.
Options
-
Alter disabled element - If selected, the activity executes the action even if the specified UI element is disabled. This field only supports
Boolean
values (True, False). The default value is False.This property does not apply if the Input Mode property is set to Hardware Events.
